The day arrives. Your email contains a notification and bill from Morro Fleece Works. Your fleeces are done! They are on the way!
You have waited MONTHS for this day. You will finally see how your gleeful and optimistic purchase has been transformed. Caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly?
You track the FedEx shipment throughout its circuitous and endless eight-day trip. You are at work. Your husband is home. It is on the truck and scheduled for delivery THAT DAY.
You email the DH. "Watch for the fleece delivery! Tell me when it arrives!" You don't want to see it sit out on the step in the sun or the rain.
He sends you an email. It is titled "Waiting for Fleece". A picture is attached. Did he take a picture of himself waiting for fleece? No. Did he take a picture of the empty step? No. Did he take a picture of the step with the box just delivered? No.
He mocked me. He took a picture of:
Thanks for making my morning! :)

Excellent you two! At this point, that fleece is begging to be called "Godot"!

What, the cage full of discarded fleece on the back porch isn't enough for him?

Zo? Are you still waiting? Or did the chippie make off with the shipment, and you're too heartbroken to tell us?
